PAMEA participated in the AGRINOVA Kick-off Meeting in Bucharest on 23-24 March 2026

PAMEA took part in the AGRINOVA Kick-off Meeting in Bucharest, marking the official start of a new Erasmus+ cooperation project focused on sustainable farming solutions, vocational education and training, and the green and digital transition in agriculture. 

On 23-24.03, PAMEA participated in the Kick-off Meeting of AGRINOVA in Bucharest, Romania, together with the project coordinator, USAMV Bucharest, and the project partners from Turkey, Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria. AGRINOVA, titled Developing Sustainable Farming Solutions, is an Erasmus+ KA220-VET project with a total budget of €250,000 and a duration of 24 months, running from November 2025 to October 2027.

For PAMEA, the meeting in Bucharest was an important opportunity to align with partners on the project’s objectives, work plan, and first implementation steps. Within AGRINOVA, PAMEA will play an active role in co-leading work related to the AGRINOVA Guide, including focus groups with farmers and VET teachers, and will also contribute to the pedagogical structure of the curriculum and Training of Trainers activities. In addition, PAMEA will support dissemination and communication activities, helping to strengthen the project’s visibility and impact across European networks. 

The Bucharest meeting set the basis for the cooperation ahead and opened the project’s first phase of work, focused on research, stakeholder engagement, and the collection of good practices in sustainable and smart farming. Through this collaboration, AGRINOVA seeks to strengthen the capacity of VET providers, improve links between education and the agricultural sector, and support the uptake of greener and more innovative practices at local and European level. 

PAMEA is pleased to contribute to this partnership and looks forward to working with the consortium to support more resilient, practical, and future-oriented agricultural training across Europe. Stay tuned for updates as AGRINOVA progresses with research activities, curriculum development, pilot actions, and dissemination events across partner countries.
